IN THE GRAVEYARD

In the Graveyard

For most actors this story is very relevant. Most actors don't live a Hollywood lifestyle. They struggle and make no money. They do it because they love it.

Two people are hanging around a cemetery ( if you're in the mood for a movie about two people hanging out in cemeteries look at Harold and Maude) and they ran into an actor looking for the grave of Mushkin who was once a well regarded actor but now you can barely find his grave.

As Kansas once sang: "All we are is Dust in the Wind."

We struggle for fame and recognition. Sacrifice for art. But in the end we wind up in a cemetery where if you're lucky they can find your grave.

As Shakespeare once wrote in MACBETH:

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
